• More deaths if they had not been saved by staff
• IPP deaths in the community not recorded systematically anywhere. Despite many suicides
happening in the community
• MOJ had 33 people missing from original FOI, 9 were suicides

• Bereaved families should not have to flag this up to a government agency
• How can deaths be prevented if there is no awareness of the deaths
• No accountability for implementing recommendations by PPO/Coroners/PFD’s.
